To the contrary. Unless I specify something as Orthodox teaching (I usually reference such statements), I am merely expressing my opinion. I am not an official of the Orthodox Church, and I make no such claim.
The EOC does teach that the OT is the "foreshadowing" of Christ. I am observing, however, that there is nothing 'temporary' about Judaic practices described in the OT, albeit there may be a hyperbolic 'foreshadowing' but not of burnt offerings.
No one? "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, ... That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." -- 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Notice the word 'perfect.' So far I see many people reading the scripture in many ways, none of which seems perfect because there is a lot of discord on what was read. A Presbyterian colleague of mine once told me "we all pray and worship imperfectly." Why is that? because are rendered 'perfect' by reading scripture (whatever Scripture may mean, because not even that is settled among Christians)
Why, we don't read the Bible the same way even as Christians, is it any wonder the Jews read the OT even more differently than we do?!
Read Hebrews, Kosta. It's all there and it's knowable
Read the Bible, Dr. E and tell me if one has seen God or not. Savce for one verse in Exodus, the Ot generally says that men have seen God, even face to face (and lived). +John and +Luke emphatically deny it. Which is it?
By the grace of God, they understood
I don't mean to be disrespectful, Dr. E, but the age of reason is sevenish, and that's a stretch. We don't even understand everything about our own world; let alone God.
Clearly Dr E, we CAN by God's Grace, Spirit and Word
understand ENOUGH about God to
establish a relationship with Him and live with Him eternally. That will do for now, imho.
